The price reduction for M5 in US East is just 2%. Wish it was something that was actually substantial.
Noticed a huge 20% reduction in some other areas though...
Are they still extorting customers by price gouging bandwidth? Maybe one day I’ll wake up to news they’ve decided to charge for capacity instead of transfer.
That is a contradiction in terms.
According to the OED:
Extort means to "obtain (something) by force, threats, or other unfair means."
Customer means "a person or organization that buys goods or services from a store or business"
Thus, extortion is a coercive relationship--we call the target of extortion a victim, not a customer.
The relationship of a vendor and customer is voluntary.
And traffic bandwidth? I know it is not Christmas yet but it would be great if those prices trend to marginal cost for the sake of innovation.
If I just purchased a few RIs 2 weeks ago, did I miss out on the savings, or are they somehow retroactive?
Monte Carlo simulations? PDE computations?
AWS and EC2 is probably a pretty good deal for high CPU, hi IO within the cloud, but very low IO egress. Monte Carlo simulations? PDE computations?
